Anywhere that carries neon lights for vehicles. There are several colors and a few different manufacturers. Stick with LiteGlow or Street Glow. When I finally get to putting the neon lights on my HHR I have 25 feet of blue to put on, two 5' ropes and a 15' rope. Damn it, I hope I get a chance to light my HHR up tomorrow.

If I get a chance I'll try to get it done tomorrow but it's no small task. I have to hook up 20' of neon tubes, 36' of EL wire, my EL seat covers, a few LEDs(including a couple of cool skull LEDs), a seperate fuse box, 6 illuminated switches, and of course all of the wiring that goes along with a project like this. If you're wondering the colors for my project they are blue and black light.

I love that look!

As long as they're going to be in a bad location they may as well be easy to see.

Could you give a how-to on doing it?

Maybe I'm on the slow side but I need a little more info than you gave.

Might you make the template file of which you made those covers avaialable to us?

I would like to edit my own graphic instead of the Bowtie.

That's where I got mine, sized perfectly for my HHR and my 300C.

I'll look for the file this weekend...

I took off my sticker and plugged the hole with Plasti-Tak (it's like handitak, but white). Going to put something else up there.

Tried to get to it through the Sunroof and headliner, and couldn't get the thing unplugged because it seems there is glue slathered over my plug. If I wanted to take out most of the headliner, it'd be no problem.

Another project... for next year.
